Panera Bread

Panera bread is a great place, the employees are Nice, and they always try and joke around and get on your good side. The food there is pretty great, along with the speed that they get you your food, even in the busiest time of day. They offer free small cups for drinks, if you dont want a large drinks, and its a great place to meet friends, family, or hold business meetings. I enjoy panera bread a lot. They even start to recognize me when I walk in now!

I used to eat at this place all the time due to the geographical convenience while I was working at the now defunct Tower Records. However, this is by no means a place I would go out of my way to eat at.

For the good points, this place has an overall good atmosphere, and they even have free bread samples available (depending on the time of day.) The place tries to offer cuisine that is suitable for all hours of the day. For the most part they succeed well.

Where this place falters is the HORRIBLE staff. During a break from work I once went into get something to snack on. I said "could I get (insert item here)", and the staff member just bluntly said "no." It was clearly a joke, but when I've been busting my ass for hours on end and I need to sit down and get some food in my system, THIS SORT OFBEHAVIOR IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. Additionally, I've ordered "regular" bagels and they've had no idea what I was talking about. They don't seem to know that plain and regular mean the same thing. This place needs to fire everybody and start from scratch. Also, some items are priced high.

If you're in the neighborhood or work in the area, give the place a try. Just don't go out of your way to eat here. It isn't worth it.

Panera Bread is not only a coffee and tea shop, but a terrrific place to meet friends or hold a meeting with their variety of meals and sweets - all served with a smile.
Their bagels are scrumptious - the best Asiago cheese I have ever had - as well as their salads, sandwiches and soups.
Now let's talk about those pastries - one would think they have bit into a something from a neighborhood bakery - not from a national chain. Something very few can accomplish
these days.
So eat, drink and enjoy!

This is an outstanding bakery and cafe. The food is freshly prepared, large portions. Try the luncheon specials. Very clean, and excellent employees. Always bread samples to try so you know what you are getting.

Their sandwiches are excellent and reasonably priced. The service is quick and they are never very crowded. They have a great selection of bagels and pastries.

Breads are okay, sandwiches are thick, salads are good and soups are great. A good place for a relaxing lunch with friends. Very casual and comforable.
